 AN ACT to amend the public authorities law, in relation to directing the

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. The public authorities law is amended by adding a new
 2 section 1266-n to read as follows:
 3 § 1266-n. Student fare program. Notwithstanding any other provision of
 4 law to the contrary, the authority shall establish a student fare
 5 program. Such program shall provide each student in a city having a
 6 population of one million or more, who attends kindergarten through
 7 twelfth grade and who resides a half mile or more from the school such
 8 student attends, with a fare reduction equal to the standard pay-per-
 9 ride fare for three fares between 5:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. each weekday
 10 for any and all train and/or bus travel, including but not limited to
 11 standard bus service and express bus service. Any difference between the
 12 standard pay-per-ride fare and the required fare for such service shall
 13 be paid by such student.
 14 § 2. This act shall take effect on the first of July next succeeding
 15 the date on which it shall have become a law. Effective immediately, the
 16 addition, amendment and/or repeal of any rule or regulation necessary
 17 for the implementation of this act on its effective date are authorized
 18 to be made and completed on or before such effective date.
